One of the greatest I ever witnessed was Spurious Precision.

affirmed and alydar went side by side thru most of the belmont. that was an amazing performance.


and carson hollow didn't survive the early lead she had in the test, but i thought her performance against you was amazing.

Very impressive, but Princess Rooney went much faster in the Distaff.

His 1984 Super Derby was excellent. Shoemaker let him open a clear lead through fast fractions and he got nailed by Gate Dancer at the end. It was double digit lengths back to Haskell winner Big Pistol in 3rd.

I thought the way Medaglia d'Oro tried to hang on in the 2004 BC Classic after dueling with Congaree was pretty nice. Also liked the way Winning Colors held for third in her Preakness after putting away Forty Niner. When you consider that Forty Niner came back to win the Haskell and Travers and was a 2yo champion, you realize the quality of horse he was and for Winning Colors to run his ass into the ground and still not spit the bit was a testament to her quality.
